Stats
Bio
Recruited from Cohuna in northern Victoria, Norm Wells was a tall prospect who joined Hawthorn during the club's challenging infancy in the VFL. Standing at 185cm, he possessed the physical attributes to serve as a key position player or follower in an era where such height was a premium asset. Wells earned his senior debut for the "Mayblooms" in Round 2 of the 1927 season against Collingwood and retained his place for the subsequent match against Richmond. His career at the top level was ultimately brief, limited to those two consecutive appearances as the struggling Hawks—still searching for stability in their third VFL season—continued to cycle through players in search of a competitive list.
